The partnership aims to inspire young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's interest in science and deliver innovative education activities to schools and communities across Australia.
A key focus for this position is to manage the partnership program, collaborating with key stakeholders at WEHI and DeadlyScience. The role oversees implementation and management of the program within agreed timelines and budgets. This person will also work collaboratively with WEHI internal stakeholders including the Diversity and Inclusion and Communications and Marketing teams to deliver on WEHI's reconciliation and Indigenous employment and education commitments.
